Abstract

A hot water supply system includes a plurality of hot water supply devices. The plurality of hot water supply devices include a first hot water supply device having a first hot water supply wireless communication module and a second hot water supply device having a second hot water supply wireless communication module. The plurality of hot water supply devices communicate with each other by a daisy chain connection, wherein the daisy chain connection is a wireless connection. One hot water supply device among the plurality of hot water supply devices is configured to be paired with another hot water supply device among the plurality of hot water supply devices that is currently not paired with any of the plurality of hot water supply devices and has a highest received signal strength indicator value among the plurality of hot water supply devices.

Claims (35)

1 . A hot water supply system, comprising:

a plurality of hot water supply devices, comprising:

a first hot water supply device, comprising:

a first hot water supply wireless communication module, comprising a transceiver and a receiver;

a second hot water supply device, comprising:

a second hot water supply wireless communication module, comprising a transceiver and a receiver;

wherein the plurality of hot water supply devices communicate with each other by a daisy chain connection,

wherein the daisy chain connection is a wireless connection,

wherein one hot water supply device among the plurality of hot water supply devices is configured to be paired with another hot water supply device among the plurality of hot water supply devices that is currently not paired with any of the plurality of hot water supply devices and has a highest received signal strength indicator value among the plurality of hot water supply devices.

2 . The hot water supply system according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the plurality of hot water supply devices that is currently paired with any hot water supply device among the plurality of hot water supply devices, is configured to display on a display part of each of the plurality of hot water supply devices an indicator indicating that pairing is complete,

wherein the display part comprises at least one of a display or a light.

3 . The hot water supply system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the display part of each of the plurality of hot water supply devices that is currently paired with any hot water supply device is configured to display a total number of hot water supply devices that have completed pairing.

4 . The hot water supply system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a mobile terminal, comprising:

a mobile terminal wireless communication module, comprising a transceiver and a receiver;

a display part, including a display;

wherein at least one of the plurality of hot water supply devices is configured to communicate with the mobile terminal,

wherein the mobile terminal is configured to display a total number of hot water supply devices that have completed pairing.

5 . The hot water supply system according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a mobile terminal, comprising:

a mobile terminal wireless communication module, comprising a transceiver and a receiver;

a display part, including a display;

wherein at least one of the plurality of hot water supply devices is configured to communicate with the mobile terminal,

wherein the mobile terminal is configured to display a total number of hot water supply devices that have completed pairing.

6 . The hot water supply system according to claim 1 , wherein the one hot water supply device is configured to display on a display, only a single hot water supply device for wireless pairing, wherein the single hot water supply device has the highest received signal strength indicator value among the plurality of hot water supply devices and the single hot water supply device is currently not paired with any of the plurality of hot water supply devices.

7 . The hot water supply system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of hot water supply devices further comprises:

a third hot water supply device, comprising:

a third hot water supply wireless communication module, comprising a transceiver and receiver.

8 . The hot water supply system according to claim 1 , wherein each one of the plurality of hot water supply devices comprises:

an inlet pipe;

an outlet pipe;

a heat exchanger, comprising a heat exchange tubing adapted to exchange heat;

a processor.
